HB 720 Kentucky House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to education.

HB 720 amends Kentucky law to replace gendered terms like "his or her" with gender-neutral language in a provision about teacher computer purchases. The bill directly affects certified teachers in Kentucky by updating the wording of an existing program (not creating a new one) that allows the Kentucky Board of Education to help teachers buy computers through bulk purchasing and training. Key provisions are limited to revising the statutory language to be inclusive, with no new funding, requirements, or program changes. This is a procedural update to ensure the law uses modern, non-discriminatory language.
